Tab control in a continuous form

Tab Order/Index in a continuous form

Hi I have a problem that has been messing my head up. I want to be able to change the way the tab button works in a continuous form, instead of the tab tabbing across/through a single record first I want to be able to tab down/through the fields. I know this may seem strange to some but that is how I would like it to work. I could change the form to something else but that would require too much alteration and make life harder in the long run.

I currently have some VBA code set to ensure that the field that is select on open has a TabStop and all other fields do not. Is this the correct way of doing it or is there an easier way.

I'm not sure but I thought that the cursor is manipulated by the dbase settings under options.
So go to options > keyboard > and check 'next field' in 'Arrow key behavior'.

Close The Arrow key behavior was set to 'next field' though I think I can deal with the enter moving to next record, though being able to do it with VBA I would/should be able to create new traversial tabstops. Which I would prefer but if it's not possible then I am happy for now.

Thank you for your help rak
